Wurmple (Japanese: ケムッソ Kemusso) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
Wurmple will evolve into either Silcoon or Cascoon starting at level 7 depending on its personality value. As personality values cannot be influenced or seen by the player, what a given Wurmple will evolve into is essentially random. From there, the Silcoon or Cascoon will evolve again starting at level 10 into Beautifly or Dustox respectively.
Biology
Wurmple is a small, caterpillar-like Pokémon. Its body is mainly red with a cream underside and face. It has large yellow eyes with dark pupils. It has one sharp yellow stinger on its head and two of them on its rear. It has a tall, erect, red spine behind its forehead and a similar, smaller spine behind that. It has small spikes running down the top portions of its body and five pairs of stubby white limbs.
Wurmple has suction pads at the tips of its feet, which allow it to cling to glass or tree branches without slipping. It can spit white silk that turns gooey when exposed to the air. To defend itself, it can release poison from its tail spikes, which can weaken foes. Wurmple's diet consist of leaves and sap, the latter of which it gets by pulling bark off trees. Wurmple are abundant and lives in forests. It is unknown why Wurmple evolves into either Silcoon or Cascoon, and not even Wurmple's appearance gives a hint to which species it will evolve into. Taillow, Swellow, and Starly are natural predators of Wurmple.

Trivia
- Wurmple shares its category with Caterpie and Snom. They are all known as the Worm Pokémon.
- Wurmple is also the only Pokémon whose evolution is directly influenced by its personality value.
- Pokémon whose evolution are influenced by their gender also evolve based on their personality value, although, unlike Wurmple, their determined evolution can be known in advance.
- By evolving Wurmple to Silcoon or Cascoon, and then exiting the game without saving, it is possible to learn which form Wurmple will take without irreversibly evolving it. As the personality value is a static value, soft resetting to revert it to a Wurmple and evolving that same Wurmple again will never result in a different evolution from the prior attempt.
- Pokémon whose evolution are influenced by their gender also evolve based on their personality value, although, unlike Wurmple, their determined evolution can be known in advance.
- Prior to Generation VI, Wurmple's shape was
.
Origin
Wurmple is based on a caterpillar,[1] perhaps specifically the pipevine swallowtail larva due to its red color and the many nodules along its body. Its ability to inject poison may be based on caterpillar stings.
According to Ken Sugimori in an interview, Wurmple was intentionally designed to be similar to Caterpie, and is meant to fill in for Caterpie's role in the Hoenn region, i.e. being a simple evolutionary line that can teach new players the concept of Pokémon evolution.[1]
Name origin
Wurmple may be a combination of worm and rumple (creased or wrinkled in texture) or simple.
Kemusso may be derived from 毛虫 kemushi (caterpillar).
